The Tortilla silver mine, Of Arizona,
has lately been extensively advertised
throughout the east. Shares were placed
at 81, and great efforts have been ma de to
interest workingmen and farmers in the
scheme. Stock Of the mine to the extent
OF $50, 900, 900 was issued, and consider
able portion Of it had to be placed with
poor people. Some time ago mining
engineer was sent out to inspect the prop
erty, and his report was printed recently.
1t states that the mines merely consist Of
prospect" holes, and barely pay the
wages OF thirteen men. It is shown that
the m nes have paid no dividends, and
when yielding the largest amount Of ore
they bankrupted their owners, and were
sold at sher;ff's sale for $4,000.
The United States supreme court has
decide d to hear further arguments upon
the application for writ of enor in the
case OF the condemned Chicago anarchists,
and has set the hearing for Thursday next
at noon. The court has also decided to
allow the state OF Illinois to appear in
these proceedings, and has notified Attor.
ney General Hunt to be present and make
argument in behalf of the state in oppose
ton to the application for writ Of error.
Further order in the case will be made
when the court reassembles.
GEN. ROGER PRYOR began the argu-
ment in the anarchist case before the su-
preme court at Washington on the Goth.
A NEW YORK paper is authority for the
statement that over two thousand OF the
employees of the Baltimore and Ohio Tele-
graph company have been notified by the
Western Union that their services will not
be required after November l. The pur-

Is cents for ten words from New York to
Chicago to so cents.
HENRY BAKER, jr., who left the East
End in Pittsburg. Pa. in 1873 and went
TO Kansas City, and has not s'nce been

by the Orphans' court in order that his
estate might be administered upon. He
left behind him q valuable lot of property
and some $50, 900 in the bank. This, OF
course, could not be legally touched by
his relations as long as he was alive. 1t IL

The winter of 1880. 81 is known through.

were there at that time know Just what
those three words mean. The experiences
of that winter have not ince been repeatel
and no one has any desire TO endure Q like

The storm began on the morning OF DC.
tober 10 seven years ago and in
creased in severity till the morning Of the
18th. So severe WAS the storm that all
trains On the Northwestern road between
Tracy and Pierre were either showed in
between stations or laid up at stations:
the cuts were full and everything covered
with snow. A force OF men were at once
set to work clearing the snow from the track
and by the Goth nearly 1000 men were
shoveling snow between Huron and Tracy.
They did not keep long at this work tor
the storm again came upon them and the
work was abandoned. No. was it resumed
for 81 veral days following, then only tenn
porarily. 1t was not until the early part
Of March that the road was cleared and
trains again began running. For more
than four months there was no commune

The people of Washington, espec-
TALLY the medical fraternity, are be-

which purpose Congress only appro-

that has done more than any other
agency for the well-being of suffer

A prominent Democratic treasury
official, Oscar J. Harvey, has been
! jailed for slaughtering Warehouses
with his able pen-not the political
warehouses; of whom you have read
so much, for they are only of nom
inal value-and what is worse, he
made the government pay for them
at the rate of 5000 each. This man
had charge Of the settlement of
claims of military officers on account
of horses lost in army service, and
whenever it suited his purpose to do
so, Harvey would put through a
claim by series of sharp forgeries,
and take the money. The forgeries
really foot up to So, 900 but he only
realized about $4,000 before his ras-
cality was exposed. The fallen clerk
confesses his guilt. In such cases
the penalty is ten years imprison-
ment, or 81, 900 fine, or both in each
case; there are between one aud
two hundred cases against him.

than usual interest as the President

for the defendant DR.. Sunderland
and his client are displeased with
the result and will take an appeal.
An important modification Of the

the clause limiting the age of the
